Ronald....that's pretty much why I did it too. But I also
wanted to use BootMagic as my multi-os manager (it needs a
dos or windows partition for it's configuration program) and
I'd never liked the maneuver that Partition Magic went
through to get itself into a pure dos mode from Windows
(after I'd give it a command or two to accomplish), so I
wanted a hard drive home for the dos version of Partition
Magic (rather than restarting my system with a bootable
floppy to run Partition Magic in dos mode).
DR-DOS is restricted to 2 gig partitions (it uses the fat16
file system) by the way. I don't believe I mentioned that in
my other message.
Good luck.
